How To: Make Skinny Jeans

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this feeling. Baby jeans can sometimes be related to old man, baggy butt pants. I'm not the biggest fan. As I was putting Forest boy in his threads for the day, I just found myself all exasperated at the blob of denim that was somehow gracing the bum of my son. NO. I'd had enough, so I got my sewing machine out. Sometimes I'm in the mood for the loose jean look, other times I'm feeling the skinny wave. So, the following is what happened yesterday. Enjoy!

You can find baby jeans to play with at second hand baby stores, garage sales and thrift stores. I had these extra hand-me-downs. Another thing I've found out-if you have a boy, check out the girls section for leg wear. A lot of the girl stuff is more fitted and is very unisex with solids and stripes. Infant girls' jeans are more narrow btw. These are boys jeans.

1. I took the extra baggy pair and pinned them to the width I so desired them to be.

2. I then proceeded to stitch the new inside seam, matching it to it's new size.

3. I turned them inside out and instant amazingness. *Sigh of relief. * It took a whole 10 min. and I was so pleased. I was told by some friends that Baby Gap has infant skinny jeans. They are incredible and some will be arriving at my doorstep soon. But, if your shinning pennies like most of moms do, this is a cheap, easy way to get the look for your little stylin' babe.
